MSN to be


Well, I have an associate's degree in nursing, and am going to graduate in a year with my BSN. I'm trying to decide on which track to follow...to be a CNS or NP. I've talked to a couple nurses who have either advanced degree, and they all love what they do. I like different aspects about each, but am having trouble deciding. What do you all think about either? I'm leaning toward Family NP.

I did the MSN route and then decided I wanted a clinical APN. I think it depends on what you want to do in the end. However, you can always get a post-MSN certificate to go with your MSN.

I know at least one school (online too) that combines the NP and CNS.

As trauma said, I think it depends on what you want to do with it.
